Two bores on the west bank of the River Murray in the Hundred of Finniss intersected part of the Mannum Formation and the Ettrick Formation before entering weathered granite. Site 5, Bore 1, 2 miles east of Mannum had the lower part of the Mannum and the upper part of the Ettrick missing this is interpreted as being the result of cliff collapse. Three water bores in the Hundred of Younghusband were examined for comparison. These intersected Loxton Sands, Mannum Formation and Ettrick Formation sediments.
